Polarity

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Aids
from: Temple Games


The marketing was good and we bought Polarity in 2007. However, in practice it was disappointing. Sadly the rules and gameplay have some irritating ambiguities and conceptual flaws. It all seemed rather pointless and unstimulating. The game has fleeting educational value(demonstrates magnetism). After a couple of initial trials, no-one in my family has shown any enthusiasm for playing this game again.

We bought this for my daughter when she was 5 and she loved using it, we went on to buy several other games (Ariel's Undersea Adventures, Cinderella and Scoobie Doo) all have been very entertaining and I would say they have helped with her numeracy and literacy in a very positive but undemanding way. HOWEVER!!! The first console died (one month before the warranty ran out, but we'd lost the receipt!) and the replacement that we then purchased has now also died with the same symptoms - you tried to turn it on and although on occassions it might have made an effort, more often than not it did not, resulting in an upset child. The second one finally died a few weeks ago (again while still under warranty) so maybe third time lucky? They are now ... Read More:
